Isolated bits of knowledge constitute our fuel for thought, but the product of our thinking capacity will have little individual worth unless we learn to generalize our specific experiences and consign to memory only the fundamental and basic principles essential to stimulate original enterprise. So long as we only speak what we have heard and write what we have read our mental efficiency is zero. Although we probably will always applaud, if not envy, the person having a memory of uncommon accuracy, yet, as Professor Neilson suggests, "the modern idea is that memory is not a store-house in which...
...Deutscher Verein will produce "Der Hypochonder," their 19th annual play in Jordan Hall, Boston, Friday night at 8 o'clock. "Der Hypochonder," is a typical product of the facile pen of Gustav von Moser, the author of "Der Bibliothekar," which is well known to the American public as "The Private Secretary," and which has already been produced by the Deutscher Verein.

Tufts proved to be anything but a "minor" college eleven...
Harvard men will read John Gallishaw's "Trenching at Gallipoli," (The Century Co.,; $1.30) with interest, because it tells of a Harvard man's part in the world war; and because it is the product of English 12. "Of all that Harvard has given me," reads the dedication, "I value most the friendship and confidence of 'Copey.'" The book is one of a steadily increasing number whose authors credit a good part of their ability to Professor Copeland's teaching...
